An unusual Philodendron hybrid with very hairy stems!
The actual origin of the variety is a bit unclear but it is a cross between Philodendron squamiferum and Philodendron serpens . The plant has striking red-haired stems and deep green heart-shaped velvety leaves.
Care.
Like other Philodendron varieties, this plant thrives in a warm and humid environment. This is especially important for both of these species as the hairs on the stems absorb moisture from the air. Place the potted plant in indirect bright light and water when the soil is almost completely dry . It has a tendency to climb, give the plant a support to really make it thrive and get larger leaves. Use a well-drained soil mix like our Aroid soil when repotting.
Botanical description.
Philodendron serpens originates in Ecuador and Colombia while squamiferum in northern Brazil. Both are of tropical origin and care should therefore try to mimic this environment as best as possible. However, they grow in quite low light levels naturally and can therefore thrive quite well indoors!
Appearance.
Philodendron serpens is one of the most unusual species in the genus. The petioles are extremely hairy , and the leaf shape, together with the angle of the petiole attachment, resembles a snake just before it strikes. Sepens means snake in Greek!
Philodendron squamiferum also has this hairy petiole but greener leaves than P. serpens. The combination results in a very unique appearance that combines desirable traits from both parents. Buy Philodendron squamiferum x serpens online!
